Rerouting rudder/elevator cables along floor

Post by Ted Waltman » Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:56 pm

I'll put together a set of pictures of how Dick Wampach and I rerouted our
rudder & elevator cables and post to the list in a few days. Basically they
run along the floor until aft of bulkhead E. We also added turn-buckles to
the rudder cable set up.

Hi Ted,

I'd be very interested in seeing those pics. I intend on doing the sane
thing.

Thanks,
Fred

I changed the cable runs so they were just above the floor (like 1/4" inch
above) until a few inches behind bulkhead E, then I use two sets of
pulleys
to change direction. I can supply pics if anyone is interested. Dick
Wampach did the same thing (his original idea in fact).

Nice bulkhead baggage retainer. I will use something similar on my Rebel.
I do note that the cables (on the Moose?) run under the top floor. Is that
Standard on the Moose or something that you did yourself?

Thanks for the picture.

I uploaded a pic (Area 109 - S/M Interiors) of one of my baggage area
vinyl/canvas bulkhead closure fixtures (long description, but I don't know
what to call it). Will have lightweight materials (e.g. sleeping bags,
jackets, pillows) in the extended area b/t bulkheads C & E. Hence this
"fixture" helps to insure those light yet bulky materials don't slide back
into the tailcone area.

Have another similar "fixture" to install at bulkhead C (obviously forward
of the one you see in the attached picture) to keep heavier stuff from
sliding back toward the tail. Also have baggage area tie-down fixtures in
the floor for the main baggage area to insure heavy stuff doesn't move
around in flight.

I went to a custom canvas shop (they make boat stuff), originally to find
a
different type of fastener. Ended up with this arrangement after talking
at
length with one of the owners of the shop. Got screwed (in my opinion) on
price for two of them fully made up (borders, reinforced patches,
fittings,
etc) but at least they look professional. Some type of heavy-duty vinyl
that is the same stuff used for truck covers (so they tell me). Really
heavy duty material.
